Taiwan is a small island, but it's home to more kinds of butterflies than almost any other place in the world. Scientists have discovered about 400 butterfly species. Fifty-five of them are endemic. They live nowhere else in the world!

The reason for this rich variety is Taiwan's diverse habitats — from high mountain grasslands to tropical forests. But these butterflies are under threat. As Taiwan's cities and businesses grow, its butterfly habitats are disappearing.
